18:20 Ripon Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
9	9 (9) (33/1 -32%) River Blackwater	33 33/1(-32%)	(9) River Blackwater 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 17/2, fourth of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good) 11 days ago, not knocked about. Will need to step up on what she's shown so far in order to play a leading role here. Bettered her debut run when 6.5l fourth last time; needs to improve again now up to 6f.
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 -113%) Violet Love	4 4/1(-113%)	(1) Violet Love 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Latest win at Bath in June. Creditable second of 6 in minor event (11/10) at Pontefract (6f, good) 15 days ago. Looks vulnerable under a big penalty. Has won twice over 5f and last time was a good second over 6f; double penalty; chance.
2	10 2nd (10) (8/1 +33%) Easy Peeler	8 8/1(+33%)	(10) Easy Peeler 8/1, Foaled February 19. Due Diligence filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Good Vibes and half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 7f Yakushima and 6f winner Apeeling. Interesting to see what the market has to say. Sister to 5f Group 3 Cornwallis winner Good Vibes; well entered; watch the market on debut.
3	15 3rd (15) (33/1 -175%) We've Got This	33 33/1(-175%)	(15) We've Got This 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 3/1) 28 days ago. Worth another chance given debut promise but others make more appeal all the same. Good second on debut in a race that hasn't worked out; well beaten last time; more needed.
4	3 4th (3) (33/1 -450%) Bright Lily	33 33/1(-450%)	(3) Bright Lily 33/1, Once-raced maiden. 15/2, third of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, good) on debut 28 days ago, nearest finish. Open to progress and she's one for the shortlist. Iffraaj filly; creditable third at Carlisle on debut; should improve; worth considering.
5th	8 5th (8) (80/1 -789%) Party Bear	80 80/1(-789%)	(8) Party Bear 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 7 in maiden at this course (5f, good, 13/2) 19 days ago. Place possibilities. Improved on low-key debut run when third over 5f here last time; step up to 6f should suit.
6th	14 6th (14) (100/1 -1150%) Montana Girl	100 100/1(-1150%)	(14) Montana Girl 100/1, Foaled March 14. Washington Dc filly. Half-sister to numerous winners, including smart 6f-9f winner Faulkner and winner up to 1m This Girl. Dam ran once. Ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and confidence behind her in the betting would look significant. Washington DC half-sister to eight winners; worth a market check on her debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (200/1 -506%) Charm Runner	200 200/1(-506%)	(4) Charm Runner 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good, 25/1) 11 days ago. Readily passed over. Well beaten at long odds on her two starts so far; first run at 6f; improvement needed.
8th	7 8th (7) (300/1 -1100%) Mile By Mile	300 300/1(-1100%)	(7) Mile By Mile 300/1, Foaled February 24. Territories filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Derry Boy and 2-y-o 6f winner Hour By Hour. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 1½m winner (stayed 2m) Fearsome. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run. Filly by Territories; half-sister to 2 winners at up to 1m2f; likely to improve for a run.
9th	6 9th (6) (125/1 -2173%) Little Lies	125 125/1(-2173%)	(6) Little Lies 125/1, Promising individual. Third of 14 in maiden at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm, 16/1) on debut 10 days ago. Open to improvement and she's a must for the shortlist. Creditable 2l third in similar race at Yarmouth on debut (6f, good to firm); a possible..
10th	5 10th (5) (450/1 -2713%) Dark Rainbow	450 450/1(-2713%)	(5) Dark Rainbow 450/1, Foaled February 9. €35,000 foal, €31,000 yearling, Dark Angel filly. Half-sister to 1m/8.3f winner Under Fox and 8.3f/9f winner Our Dickie. Dam 1m winner (including at 2 yrs), and had form over 1½m. Stablemate of Bright Lily and she's one to note in the betting. 31,000euros yearling by Dark Angel; dam 1m winner; looks lesser fancied Fahey runner.
11th	12 11th (12) (100/1 -614%) Harvesting	100 100/1(-614%)	(12) Harvesting 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) on debut 9 days ago. May well do better with that experience to draw upon here. Promising debut run over 7f last month; better expected and drop to 6f likely to suit.
12th	2 12th (2) (350/1 -1650%) Alfa Kalori	350 350/1(-1650%)	(2) Alfa Kalori 350/1, Foaled March 30. 10,000 gns yearling, £30,000 2-y-o, Kodi Bear filly. Closely related to 2-y-o 6f-7f winner Double O and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 6f Edward Cornelius. Probably worth taking on first time out. £30,000 breeze-up buy; related to 4 winners at up to 1m; dam 1m winner; check the market.
13th	13 13th (13) (350/1 -250%) Magical Florence	350 350/1(-250%)	(13) Magical Florence 350/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good, 200/1) 28 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Tailed off when a 200-1 chance on her two starts so far; others look stronger.
14th	11 14th (11) (300/1 -2400%) Flaine	300 300/1(-2400%)	(11) Flaine 300/1, Foaled February 23. €12,000 yearling, Kuroshio filly. Dam, made frame at 1½m in France, half-sister to useful 6.5f/7f winner Plaisanciere. Wears tongue strap and has undergone a wind op ahead of this debut.

18:20 Ripon Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Violet Love sets a good standard but a double penalty for her previous wins puts her at a disadvantage in a race full of likely improvers and debutants. BRIGHT LILY and Little Lies appeal most from the rest with experience, with the former shading the vote after a highly-promising third over this trip on debut at Carlisle last month. Easy Peeler looks the pick of the newcomers.

The vote goes to newcomer MONTANA GIRL, who looks the part on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in her favour. Fellow newcomer Flaine represents a yard that has saddled the winner of this race twice in recent years and she is second choice ahead of Bright Lily, who made an encouraging start to her career at Carlisle. Little Lies and Harvesting are both open to improvement, too, and need a second look.

Dual winner Violet Love has sound claims but she has a stiff task at the weights and the promising HARVESTING is just preferred.

18:50 Ripon Maiden (Class 5) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (7/1 +30%) Expert Elsa	7 7/1(+30%)	(4) Expert Elsa 7/1, Once-raced filly. 18/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 18 days ago, slowly away. Sizeable step forward needed. Half-sister to two Flat winners (7f/1m); fair debut on AW last month; should improve.
1	2 1st (2) (22/1 -10%) Tramell	22 22/1(-10%)	(2) Tramell 22/1, Twice-raced filly. 100/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 31 days ago, running on. Best to look elsewhere. 4,000gns buy last July; modest efforts at long odds so far; probably best watched for now.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 -67%) Path To Glory	5 5/1(-67%)	(5) Path To Glory 5/1, Masar filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Baby Gal and 1¼m winner Fillyfudge. Dam 7f-1¼m winner. Yard no stranger to success with newcomers and she's one to consider, particularly if the market vibes are upbeat. Half-sister to two winners at up to 1m2f out of a 7f-1m2f winner; interesting newcomer.
3	6 3rd (6) (Evens +33%) Rogue State	0 Evens(+33%)	(6) Rogue State Evens, Promising individual. 13/2, first run since leaving Tom Clover when third of 8 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Obvious claims. Ex-Tom Clover; placed on all starts, including on stable debut last time; chance.
4	8 4th (8) (400/1 -4344%) Shop Local	400 400/1(-4344%)	(8) Shop Local 400/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 9/1) on debut. Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip. Yard also saddles newcomer Sievier. Not show much when 15l 8th of ten on AW debut (6f; 9-1); should come on for that run..
5th	3 5th (3) (250/1 -1150%) Cookie Queen	250 250/1(-1150%)	(3) Cookie Queen 250/1, Once-raced filly. 33/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) on debut 13 days ago, very slowly away. Will need to leave that well behind if she's to make an impact here. First foal of an unraced mare; well beaten on debut (started slowly); should do better.
6th	9 6th (9) (400/1 -9900%) Sievier	400 400/1(-9900%)	(9) Sievier 400/1, Sixties Icon filly. Dam unraced. Interesting to see what the market has to say. Filly by Sixties Icon; dam unraced half-sister to a 5f/6f winner; worth a market check.
7th	1 7th (1) (400/1 -700%) Cherry Tree Dawn	400 400/1(-700%)	(1) Cherry Tree Dawn 400/1, Thrice-raced mare. Unseated rider in maiden (200/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Hard to fancy. Has shown little so far; headgear now tried; others stronger.
8th	7 8th (7) (350/1 -2400%) Safio's Princess	350 350/1(-2400%)	(7) Safio's Princess 350/1, Outstrip filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Tantastic and winner up to 7f Variety Island. Dam 5f/6f winner. Worth a peek in the betting. Half-sister to 2 winners at 5f-7f; dam a tough 5f/6f winner; should be better for the run.

18:50 Ripon Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Having shown consistency across her three previous starts, ROGUE STATE offers strong appeal. With the promise of more to come now that she tries a mile, the daughter of Lope De Vega has every chance of getting off the mark on just her second appearance for Bryan Smart. Safio's Princess and Path To Glory are others to consider if they attract significant interest on their debuts.

One of the newcomers may well prove equal to this task, with SIEVIER marginally preferred to Path To Glory. Both represent yard's more than capable of readying one first time out and the betting will be informative. Rogue Estate is the clear pick of those with experience and, should the newcomers not rise to the occasion, she will probably emerge on top.

Although more exposed than most of these ROGUE STATE has shown enough to suggest she can win a race like this.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +0%) Garden Oasis	3 3/1(+0%)	(1) Garden Oasis 3/1, Five-time C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Good second of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Carlisle (7.8f, good to firm) 12 days ago.

Leading claims with a 4 lb rise by no means excessive. Met trouble when behind Garden Oasis here in June; won before and after that; a possible.
3	3 3rd (3) (300/1 -2043%) Sandret	300 300/1(-2043%)	(3) Sandret 300/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (8f). Off 117 days and this 8-y-o has work to do. Effective from 6f-1m2f; not run up to form on last two starts; back from a break.
4	6 4th (6) (100/1 -3233%) Havana Prince	100 100/1(-3233%)	(6) Havana Prince 100/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. 13/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 33 days ago. Up 3 lb and he merits respect in his bid to complete the hat-trick. Progressive 3yo; made all to win C&D handicaps on last two starts; up 3lb; interesting.
5th	4 5th (4) (125/1 -1686%) Count Palatine	125 125/1(-1686%)	(4) Count Palatine 125/1, Third of 5 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm, 7/1) 25 days ago. Down another 1 lb and should make his presence felt. Ex-Brian Meehan; 20,000gns buy in October; good third over 1m1f latest; first run at 1m.
6th	2 6th (2) (450/1 -3650%) No Saint	450 450/1(-3650%)	(2) No Saint 450/1, 40/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago, slowly away. Significantly back up in trip and hooded for 1st time. Others preferred. Ex-Michael Bell; good AW 2nd in December (7f) but not as good over 6f/1m since.
7th	7 7th (7) (150/1 -1900%) Easter Island	150 150/1(-1900%)	(7) Easter Island 150/1, Creditable third of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 20/1) 11 days ago. Each-way claims if able to build on that returned to turf. 0-13; best form on AW although fair fifth after a break to Makalu at Beverley last month.
8th	8 8th (8) (350/1 -961%) Penny Ghent	350 350/1(-961%)	(8) Penny Ghent 350/1, Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap (50/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Plenty to prove at present. 0-6; better of two efforts since 585-day break when sixth last time but more needed.

19:25 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

After a brace of course and distance wins, Havana Prince is a strong contender despite the imposition of another 3lb rise in the handicap. The recent Beverley winner Makalu, who is also a C&D winner, is another key player. However, this can go to GARDEN OASIS, who has held his form well and the topweight should appreciate returning to this grade after a second at Carlisle last month.

There was much to like about the way MAKALU went about his business when scoring at Beverley last month and he looks capable of following up off this 4 lb higher mark. The selection may have most to fear from the hat-trick seeking Havana Prince, who is 2-2 over this C&D and remains on a plausible mark. Garden Oasis is something of a course specialist and should be on the premises.

Veteran GARDEN OASIS is taken to win his sixth race over C&D by beating dual C&D winner Havana Prince and the in-form Makalu.

Still one to be interested in but draw isn't helpful. 5f Catterick winner last September; best run since when second at Ayr on Sunday; chance.
2	10 2nd (10) (25/1 -56%) Our Absent Friends	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) Our Absent Friends 25/1, 16/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago. Becoming well treated but not firing at present. Won over 5f (AW) and 6f (soft) last season; hasn't run up to his best so far this year.
3	1 3rd (1) (25/1 -25%) Rock Of England	25 25/1(-25%)	(1) Rock Of England 25/1, 40/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Others are more appealing. Engaged 2.39 Ayr Sunday. Ex-Ed Bethell; dual 6f winner last term but not run up to best for this yard this season.
4	8 4th (8) (9/1 -80%) High Opinion	9 9/1(-80%)	(8) High Opinion 9/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (9/2) at Catterick (5f, good to soft) 20 days ago, well on top finish. Should go well again. In good form this season, following C&D 2nd by winning last two races; up 10lb; contender.
5th	2 5th (2) (25/1 -400%) Paddy's Day	25 25/1(-400%)	(2) Paddy's Day 25/1, 7/1, good second of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago. Reliable overall and should make presence felt again. Only turf win was over 6f but 2nd on three occasions over 5f this term; worth considering.
6th	4 6th (4) (13/2 -30%) Miss Brazen	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(4) Miss Brazen 13/2, Respectable third of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, well positioned. On a handy mark but stall 1 isn't ideal. Good second at Epsom off 11lb higher last June; mixed form since; each-way chance.
7th	7 7th (7) (25/1 -178%) Leodis Dream	25 25/1(-178%)	(7) Leodis Dream 25/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in April. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 13/2) 32 days ago. Could bounce back quickly. Has won 9 races, latest at Southwell in April; good C&D 2nd next time; well drawn; chance.

20:00 Ripon Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

High Opinion struck by just under a length to record a double at Catterick last time and he has a 5lb higher mark to contend with in a much tougher race. With that in mind, PADDY'S DAY looks the way to go after his second at Newcastle on his latest outing. The four-year-old looks well placed to get his head back in front. Albegone is another to note after his fifth at Thirsk.

HIGH OPINION was better than ever when scoring at Catterick last time and he's worth a chance to follow up at the possible expense of Paddy's Day, who also arrives in good order. Vadamiah could also feature if she's able to bounce back from a lesser effort.

In a tricky sprint handicap slight preference is for the well-drawn LEODIS DREAM, who was a good second over C&D two runs back.

6	6 (6) (16/1 -45%) Solar Bentley	16 16/1(-45%)	(6) Solar Bentley 16/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Catterick (12.1f, good to firm) 30 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey. Two quite promising runs in 1m2f handicaps but 1m4f beyond him on last 2 starts; new yard.
1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +0%) Godsend	5 5/1(+0%)	(4) Godsend 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/4, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 28 days ago. Evidently thought capable of better, so not one to write off with few miles on the clock. Short-priced favourite for handicap debut upped to 1m4f on AW but finished out the back.
2	5 2nd (5) (16/1 -146%) Honrado	16 16/1(-146%)	(5) Honrado 16/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Bath (14f, firm, 15/8) 14 days ago, badly hampered. Latest run easy to excuse and it's still early days with him. Never-nearer 4th when upped to 1m4f on AW (second handicap run); badly hampered since.

4	7 4th (7) (300/1 -6567%) Kinetic	300 300/1(-6567%)	(7) Kinetic 300/1, Respectable 4½ lengths third of 7 to Barafundle Bay in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 11/4) 9 days ago. Not discounted. Some respectable handicap efforts in 2024 but no match for Barafundle Bay over 1m3f latest.
5th	1 5th (1) (100/1 -5219%) Sea La Venus	100 100/1(-5219%)	(1) Sea La Venus 100/1, Promising individual. Sixth of 10 in maiden (10/3) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 37 days ago.

20:30 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

BARAFUNDLE BAY beat Kinetic (third) by over four lengths on her handicap debut in this grade at Windsor last time. The daughter of Dartmouth could have any amount of improvement to come and is difficult to oppose. Sea La Venus has only shown fair form in her three starts to date, but she could prove a different proposition on her handicap debut with Tom Marquand booked. Rubio De Oro is also noted.

SEA LA VENUS has showed a bit to date and is bred to be much better than a mark of 62, so she's worth a chance to make a successful handicap debut at the possible expense of Barafundle Bay, who opened her account in ready fashion at Windsor recently. Godsend likely has a bigger effort in him, so he's feared, too.

Barafundle Bay was a revelation when winning her handicap debut but SEA LA VENUS is interesting at this level for the first time.

21:00 Ripon Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Wichahpi continued her solid form when finishing second in this grade at Doncaster on her latest outing and she only has a 2lb higher mark to contend with. However, JESMOND DAWN looks the one to be on. The son of Dawn Approach appreciated the drop down in trip when beating a few of these at this level at Redcar last month. Grant Tuer's three-year-old looks to have lots going for him, while Socialise cannot be overlooked.

WICHAHPI did well to maintain her effort (made the running into a headwind) when second at Doncaster last time and she's unlikely to be seriously pressured for the lead here, so she's the one to side with. Jesmond Dawn was quite impressive on his first go at this trip last time, so he's the obvious threat, with Louella not ruled out.

Off the mark when dropped back to 6f at Redcar last time, JESMOND DAWN (nap) has a sound chance of following up despite a 6lb rise.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
